Last week Judah Friedlander wore Seibei‘s Sandwich Dinosaur shirt on an episode of 30 Rock, and apparently it got quite a lot of screen time (I’m way behind so I haven’t seen the episode yet). Always good to see us little guys getting some mainstream exposure.

It’s cool seeing brands from the t-shirt community getting some exposure to a wider audience, even if that audience won’t necessarily know what they’re being exposed to.
I know I don’t mention TeeFury all that often, but even I recognise the two designs that turned up on House (another show that I’m told I should watch but have never seen a minute of) and on My Life As Liz, which is a show I’ve never seen before and don’t really have much intention of doing so.

30 Rock however, I am a big fan of, so it’s balls-out awesome that Judah Friedlander was spotted sporting one of Seibei‘s more iconic designs, the Sandwich Dinosaur. If my memory serves correct, David met Judah at some kind of festival, so perhaps that’s where the tee came from, or maybe David sent them a bunch of shirts, I don’t know but it’s seriously cool. In other Seibei news, you can now pick up a random mystery tee and 5 pins for the bargain price of $9.99.

This post has reminded me that I haven’t yet posted about
The IT Crowd S3E6, that will come up…. sometime. I haven’t seen this episode yet, but let’s be honest, if we have to wait until I’ve seen it and made caps before I write a post they’ll have probably canceled then renewed the show after it sold loads of DVDs.
It’s always cool when an indie tee producer gets some mainstream exposure, even though text doesn’t pop up on screen pointing at the tee saying “buy this tee at www.totallyindieteesyourfriendsdontownwhichwouldmakeyoulookcool.com” it must make the designer feel good, especially when they’ve made a tee that’s meant to be funny and it gets shown on 30 Rock, a show which I think is one of the funniest on TV at the moment.

Apparently this tee is some kind of a reference to the fantastically funny
30 Rock, but I couldn’t place it at all, so I did a bit of hunting around (we all know what
that means) and
apparently blërg was uttered by Ms. Liz Lemon as a way of expressing:
The sound of many negative emotions in one word.
I think she might be right, it’s a word that you can say without even trying when you simply don’t have the energy to be annoyed anymore.

I know I’m pretty late posting this, we Brits don’t usually get American shows for a while after they’ve aired (although The Daily Show and Colbert Report are only on a one-day delay, thankfully), but I’m a fan of 30 Rock and whilst I wouldn’t buy this tee (over-priced, and slightly offensive to all but the tiny minority of people in the UK that watch 30 Rock) I think its really cool that NBC actually sell items from fictional TV shows that have appeared in their own shows, in fact, of the 9 items of apparel in the
30 Rock mini store only 2 pieces have the boring show logo on them, the rest are just things from the show, like the Sheinhardt Wig company or the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine (“Meat is the new bread!”), which I guess makes a lot of sense since only fans of the show are going to buy this stuff, and they’re going to understand what all the quotes and jokes on the tees are about.
